Bob Rafkin

During this period in the Village Rafkin also met Phil Ochs[2][3][4] and Eric Andersen and he played on Andersen’s 1966 album More Hits from Tin Can Alley on Vanguard Records and later on Phil Ochs’ legendary album Gunfight at Carnegie Hall.

Rafkin knew Erik Jacobsen – the record producer for among others, the Lovin' Spoonful and Tim Hardin – and in 1967 when Jacobsen moved to San Francisco Rafkin relocated there to work as a producer and session guitarist.

In 1972 he played on the David Blue[5] album Stories[6] and worked with producers Lenny Waronker, Henry Lewy and Larry Marks.

In 1973 Rafkin played guitar on the Tim Buckley album Sefronia and on Augie Meyers's Western Head Music Company on Polydor Records.

While on tour in 2011 Rafkin met UK songwriters Malcolm Barnard and Chris Godden, the start of a strong friendship.
